I like Good Old Games, so naturally I'm a huge baseball fan ;) . And this year my beloved Red Sox are back in it! Anyone else feel like BSing a bit about the postseason? Yes, I'm just looking for an excuse to rant and rave, sorry ;)

I'd love to see a Cubs / Sox World Series, and if I'm being REALLY honest I'd *almost* like to see the Cubbies win, just so Theo can ascend to the status of GM godhood. But after last night I think the Cubs are going to be looking at being down 2 games to none in a short series and wondering what the heck happened. Giants win that series, calling it now ;)

And I don't think my Sox are going to make the World Series either :( Damn Orioles couldn't knock off the Blue Jays, and I'm pretty sure they'll beat out the Sox in the Championship series. Texas can take its fake one seed and shove it. Arguably the three best teams in the American League were all in the East, and despite the fact that they beat the heck out of each other all year they all basically ended up with 90 wins. Plus Toronto and the Sox handled them all year long.

Poor Cleveland gets overlooked (sorry Tito!) but I was never sold on that rotation, even when I was being told it was the best in baseball at the start of the year. And now they're hurt. Better luck next year (probably not, sorry!).

And I STRONGLY dislike both the Nationals and the Dodgers (despite being a huge fan of Dave Roberts and Adrian Gonzalez in LA and Scherzer in Washington). So I really don't care about this series LOL. I'm super glad MLB backed off on trying to jam Harper down our throats as "the face of the game" - the guy is a dink and his team can't get knocked out fast enough for me.

So, any thoughts or other fans? Or am I just going to end up indulging myself in here?

If the Cubs win it all I'm going to kill myself.

Those fans are unbearable assholes as is, and they haven't won anything in over a hundred years! Give them a title and it's going to be an unstoppable army of mindless douche bags! :P

Had season tickets for 15 years in St Louis and those fucking fans of theirs ruined EVERY SINGLE Cardinals/Cubs game I ever attended.

You saw that I'm a Boston fan, yes? ;)

"Bro, bro - tah Yahankees ah wickit bitches yo."

*and edit to add* And don't worry, I'm telling you Cubs are great but get ready for an early exit. Like the Cards I ALWAYS underestimate the Giants right up until they're in / winning the World Series. Pretty fantastic that you had season tickets by the way!

I'm not a Red Sox fan but I LOVE the city of Boston. I wouldn't have a problem with you boys taking another title home. Seeing a Cleveland title would also be nice, but I'm not picky; just so long as it's not the Cubs.

Watsa baseball?:)

They play cricket in Australia? Like that, but shorter.

They really don't play this game at all down under do they? A few years ago, a team here had an Australian picture and I swear EVERY time he pitched it was mentioned. I guess it really IS that uncommon a thing.

And seems like we don't have as many baseball fans here as I thought we would :(

Cricket came first! :P

And sorry for barging into your thread, another non-baseball fan (although to be fair, I'm usually bored of cricket as well).

Most of them suck.
Padres, A's, and Angles are all jokes.

Come a little closer to this side of the country and say that.

Some baseball here but cricket rules.At the moment the Aussie cricket team is a bit like the unions always on strike and definitely not up to par,oops another great sport golf :)

I said most of them!

The Dodgers and Giants are really good.

In fact, the Giants are so good they have become a valid dynasty, which no one thought was possible anymore.

I guess, this thread is about some religion, right?

Pretty much.
The irony is that I'm participating in this thread and I don't even watch baseball. In fact, I hate sports.

All I know about baseball is that Enricco Pallazo sings the american national anthem
